ECZ 2019 · GCE Paper 1 — Matrices

Given that S = [1 0 −4; −2 1 1] (a 2×3 matrix with rows separated by semicolons), find Sᵀ.

  • A. [1 −2; 0 1; −4 1]
  • B. [−4 0 1; 1 1 −2]
  • C. [1 0 −4; −2 1 1]
  • D. [−2 1 1; 1 0 −4]

Verified working — step 1

Transposing turns rows into columns: the first row (1, 0, −4) becomes the first column, and the second row (−2, 1, 1) becomes the second column. So Sᵀ = …
